MIAMI -- Two former co-defendants of Alberto San Pedro, dubbed the ``Great Corrupter`` of Hialeah by federal prosecutors, were sentenced to prison Monday after pleading guilty to drug and money laundering charges.

U.S. District Judge Jose A. Gonzalez Jr. sentenced Carlos Redondo up to nine years in prison and Lester Steiner to a five-year term.

Redondo, a former driver and body guard for San Pedro, pleaded guilty Jan. 3 to federal conspiracy charges in a money-laundering scheme. Steiner also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute cocaine through the money laundering.
